Important note for System Administrators upgrading from previous versions

I am using version 2.0.0.8.
In order to upgrade to 2.1 I need:
1- Set at config/config.php the constant TABLE_PREFIX to ‘fo_’
2- Run the upgrade script ‘public/upgrade’
3- After upgrading make sure to run public/upgrade/complete_migration.php to set up object permissions. –

It is great to know that Feng Office is currently being used in your office and that you like it!

As for the spreadsheet integration, to be honest, this is not in our highest priorities as its demand is not as high as the one for other features and modules. Nonetheless, we understand it is important for several, and that is why we are working on a crowd sourcing project. If you are interested in it, please send us an email to contact@fengoffice.com

Otherwise, another possibility some users go for, is to have the spreadsheets created in Google Docs, and then referenced into Feng Office given that you can work on them directly from our platform.
